Outdoor public artwork exhibited in Sculpture at the Point,
Point State Park, part of the Three Rivers Arts Festival,
Pittsburgh, PA, June 4-21. As the title implies the intention
was to commemorate the Native Americans who lived in this
location—who have been dispossessed to this day. Meant to
address our historic memory of their presence or absence
and to raise awareness of their presence currently living
in our midst. Tipi constructed of metal tube armature covered
with rip-stop nylon, satellite dishes mounted with solar
panels and photo voltaic system that power a TV and continuous
audio tape surrounded by ceramic planters of corn, beans
and squash (staples of Native American diet), chain link
fencing 8’ high.
